Noam Chomsky, The Israel-Palestine Conflict

“The fact that the Israel-Palestine conflict grinds on without resolution might appear to be rather strange. For many of the world’s conflicts, it is difficult even to conjure up a feasible settlement. In this case, it is not only possible, but there is near universal agreement on its basic contours: a two-state settlement along the internationally recognized (pre-June 1967) borders – with ‘minor and mutual modifications,’ to adopt official US terminology before Washington departed from the international community in the mid-1970’s.”
